Wedding Date 20-10-2012
I recently got married on 10/20/12 at Heritage Museum of OC. I ABSOUTELY LOVED every aspect of this venue. It's a diamond in the rough of Santa Ana as it sits in a gated area in the middle of an industrial center, but once you enter the gates you will be lost in its natural beauty and elegance. The reason why I chose this venue is because I didn't have to go elsewhere for pictures. There are plenty of photo ops here that couldn't compare to anything else you will find in OC. I cannot stress enough how PERFECT this place is for pictures.\rWedding coordinator Tracy was the sweetest and most patient person. She answered all my questions, accomodated everything I needed and most of all ran my rehearsal and wedding ceremony flawlessly. She is a genuine person who went above and beyond to make sure I was ok. After everything is said and done, I can honestly say there was nowhere else I would have rather had my wedding. It was beautiful.

We used the heritage museum as our venue and it was perfect in almost every way. From an aesthetic perspective, it was just what we were looking for. Having everything outdoors was great in the current environment and we really appreciated the shade at the ceremony location. We were even able to fit a photo booth in the pavilion for the reception and there was plenty of space for our guests.The dance floor was fantastic and we had guests dancing all night. Overall, fantastic venue to support a medium - large wedding.I would say the only critique is being locked to the caterer. We didn't love not being able to shop around and feel like it definitely drove up the overall cost. If you can use your own vendors, then this venue is perfect.

My husband and I just got married here in March and we cannot begin to say how glad we are that we chose HMOC as our wedding venue! Let me start with the staff... Jamie is the absolute sweetest soul and helped answer literally all of our questions related to the wedding, no matter how small or detailed the question. She always put our needs first and made us feel so incredibly loved. We were so relaxed the day of the wedding because of her organized schedule and gentle spirit. We definitely enjoyed developing a relationship with her! Naomi was also very helpful as well and so so kind! In terms of looks, the venue is absolutely beautiful. My husband is a bit of a history buff, so he especially loved the history behind the land as well as the Kellogg House. I absolutely loved getting ready in the Kellogg house, and the rest of the venue made our pictures look beautiful, from the gazebo, to the Kellogg House, to the orange trees, and so much more!I would strongly suggest Heritage House Museum to anyone getting married. It is the perfect spot for a wedding as well as other events (they have several events to visit each month!) We can't wait to visit future events here!

My wife and I got married at the Heritage Museum of Orange County on 9/7/2019. Jamie was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Her friendly, energetic, and warm personality always left me feeling better than before, after meeting up to talk about contract details, taking a tour of the venue, and hear advice and tips from her experiences doing other weddings. The venue was absolutely beautiful and we received super positive compliments from the guests following the wedding. Most of them were shocked that such a perfect outdoor venue was hiding in the heart of Santa Ana. I can't recommend this venue enough!

This was one of the venues we visited last and we instantly fell in love! We just had our wedding here on 8/17/19; we are extremely happy and satisfied with everything and everyone involved. We worked with Jamie a lot and she is just wonderful! Super private area; very spacious and a lot of greenery so you don't need a lot of flower arrangements. The Kellogg House is the bridal suite; definitely worth taking pictures inside the house. No complains at all whatsoever! If you're looking for an outdoor ceremony or reception or both this is worth it!

Jamie Hiber is a bubbly, hardworking, passionate, and truly \"all-in\" coordinator who runs weddings and events at the museum. With she and the incredible staff, our wedding was perfection.

They recently had some donations to the venue , and wow, loved some of the upgrades they received. My wedding day here was so beautiful and perfect.

Such a beautiful place most don't know exists. \r\rAnd Jamie... was amazing to work with! Great communication. She is absolutely spectacular.

She was flexible in arrangements for cocktail hour and seating. The gardens are just beautiful and the venue was absolutely perfect for our wedding needs. Amber uplighting and bistro lights covering the dance floor gave a romantic ambience and the large trees and rose garden itself provide natural beauty. It was perfect!\r

I absolutely LOVE Heritage Museum! My husband and I recently got married here this spring. I was a bride on a budget, but I didn't want to sacrifice quality. You can have a relaxed, rustic wedding or you can very easily dress the place up and go for classy elegance. Everything about the process of booking it as our venue was easy and so fun mainly because of their super sweet staff and GORGEOUS grounds. This is probably one of my favorite places to visit, there is something so enchanting about this place. \r\rOnce you walk through the gates, you are transported to a magical, vintage wonderland. I took lots of pictures just to help myself remember what it looked like and literally every picture I snapped looked like a postcard. It's very peaceful here and all the staff are very knowledgeable and clearly LOVE Heritage Museum. They work hard to care for this place and I love that about Heritage.\r \rHere are the things I liked about my wedding experience here:\r\r1) Jamie Hiber (venue coordinator): This is most likely who you will interact with if you want to tour the museum and book the venue. She is literally full of sunshine, cheer, and happiness. You can tell she loves her job. She is genuinely excited for every couple that is getting married and does everything she can to make magic happen. She emailed me back promptly with any questions I had and went above and beyond to help lighten my load pre-wedding. On the day of the rehearsal, she was super peppy and helpful, my bridal party kept saying how cute she was. I could not have done it without her. THANK YOU, JAMIE!!! (from your lobster bride).\r\r2) Flowers- I booked the venue around August and it was beautiful, but the venue didn't have that many flowers blooming at the time since it was summer. They said when I had my wedding in the spring, it would be gorgeous because all the flowers would bloom. It was hard for me to imagine and I just took their word for it, but when the wedding day came, my breath was literally taken away! WOW! It was so colorful and had that fresh garden feel. They have a little rose garden and every rose was in full bloom. The roses were super vibrant in pictures and all the guests were taking pictures in that rose garden. \r\r3) Kellogg House- This is the white house they have on their property. This is where the bride gets ready. It's filled with amazing vintage decor and props. It's fun to just visit this museum even if you don't book it for your wedding. \r\rSee my review on Yelp for the rest! I ran out of space on here.

My husband and I had been planning our wedding for a while. I knew I wanted something outside but not your typical beach wedding, then I stumbled across the heritage museum and I'm so glad I did. From the moment I booked up until the day of the wedding everyone was super helpful. Originally I had Tracy as my wedding coordinator, but then Jamie took over and she was amazing and bubbly. Then there's Diana who's in charge of the catering and we hired her to be our day of coordinator. She was AWESOME!!! She definitely made my day a breeze because she was in charge of everything. I received so many compliments on how good the food was :) she definitely treated us like royalty. I could not be any happier with the venue and the staff. If your looking for a gorgeous outdoor venue, look no further. This is it. Hidden gem in Santa Ana. Please do yourself the favor and stop by this stunning venue with an old Kellogg home and many other beautiful sights to see.

The prices to book the venue were extremely reasonable compared to other museums. \rI loved all the photo opportunities that my photographer was able to capture; we actually ran out of time to take pictures because there were so many places that we wanted to cover.

There are so many interesting things to look at: Kellogg House, gazebo area, rose garden, citrus grove, farming tools, gold mine set, and an adobe house. Thank you Heritage Museum!

Heritage staff is really a joy to work with. Very helpful, patient and helped the whole day run smoothly. I loved the uniqueness of the venue and how it is all outdoors. We had a beautiful day, and we used the whole venue to accomodate all our guests. It was like a blank canvas, and i loved that we could mold it into what we needed

We had our wedding at the Heritage Museum of Orange County on October 5th. This historical site is gorgeous! The houses and grounds are beautiful. During our many visits I can tell you that no matter what time of year you go, the site is wonderful. It has many fun and unique picture opportunities. Because the site is so beautiful on its own it really does not need much extra decoration. It is really a hidden gem. All of my family and guest continue to ask us how we found it. \r\rNot only is the site great but the staff is too. Tracy is the site coordinator and she is amazing. She is sweet and efficient and very good at getting you answers quickly. Even if it is measurements of certain things on site. Tracy helped us find our florist (another wonderful vendor) as well as hotel lodgings for our guest. With our site rental we also got a membership to the museum which we are looking forward to using throughout the year as they have so many fun events. \r

This venue is absolutely gorgeous. It is an outdoor, garden like setting. Tracy the Museum wedding coordinator is friendly, accommodating and very easy to work with. Our guests commented over and over on how lovely everything was. We held both the ceremony and the reception at the site. The day was warm (August), but there are many shade trees and the patio is covered. Girls were able to dress in the Kellogg house which was restored and such fun! Loved the spiral staircase. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.

My venue was beautiful! Its one of those places that is so pretty, you don't have the spend a lot on decor! The staff is very helpful. They are reasonably priced and work solely with one caterer, who has set up very reasonable prices. In addition, the whole deposit goes towards keeping the museum open for free field trips for kids and it 100 percent tax deductible!!!

As including family was super important to us, my fiance and I decided to book with the Heritage Museum because as a historic home, it carries with it the love and care of many generations. The lovely cream-colored Kellog House, a Victorian which has been restored and is simply immaculate, was the perfect backdrop to our large family photos. The grounds are large and well-manicured, boasting a field of wildflowers during spring/summer, a rustic barn area (if you dont want that, like we didnt, you can simply ignore it because it's far out of the way), a rose garden, a small orange grove, and breathtaking trellises and greenery. It was BEAUTIFUL and we got so many compliments on our venue. Another bonus: because the venue is so lush and gorgeous, we were able to save a lot of money on flowers. There is space for both ceremony and reception, which we did. \r\rTheir required caterer, Country Gardens Caterers, was SUPERB. (And I will admit, we almost didn't book the Heritage because I didn't want to be tied to a required vendor.) However, after our first free tasting with CGC (before we even booked with Heritage), we were hooked. Everything was hot, delicious, and delivered as promised. And we were able to hire the catering manager, Diana Perkins, as our day of coordinator. She and her staff were a God-sent blessing! \r\rI fancied myself a sort of kitschy, DIY bride, as I sourced and set up all of our centerpieces, candy bar, guest book table, and the like. With that said, the staff at the Heritage was very hands off. They called only to collect our payments and to schedule our rehearsal. This worked for me, as I didn't need the help of the venue, but if you are looking for a more involved venue you should be aware of this. \r\rWith that said, everything went beautifully, and our wedding photos are STUNNING because we booked with HMOC. I hope you love it as much as we did.

As soon as I walked in to the Heritage Museum, I knew it was where I was getting married. The house where the bride gets ready is gorgeous and there are so many places to have your photos taken while you wait for the ceremony. The grounds are beautiful and varied - there is a gazebo, an orange grove, a rose garden, and more. The staff is friendly and helpful and increibly accomodating. In all, I couldn't have picked a better place to get married.

My wife and I have large families. This site handled the 500 guests very well! The peaceful and ornate setting included the rose garden, the Victorian style house, the orange trees, and the list goes on! All of the guests complimented how beautiful it all was; everyone had something nice to say from ages 10 to 100!\r\rBooking the site was easy. We had to use the sites vendors; they were reasonably priced. We brought all our own drinks, including alcohol. We were able to bring in our own caterer, he had to be licensed though. There isn't much lighting in places so we brought some of our own lamps for the dancefloor and some table spots.\r\rThe site coordinator accidentally charged my account twice (set us VERY far back in payment planning for our other vendors). But, she was extremely helpful to set things straight (she even helped set up for the reception).\r\rOverall, we had an absolute blast. A beautiful and functional place to have our wedding reception.

We had our reception in the rose garden area and we strung tiny lights throughout the entire site. Plus or dancing was able to be in a large covered gazebo area. This gazebo was surrounded on three sides with orange trees, so it was the perfect dance spot.
